Myth and Reality [Quest: The Blackmith's Mystic Forge Pt 1| Private]

It was early in the morning, Kenjiro jogs around the city as part of his morning exercise. He doesn't have a class to attend to that day so he decided to go on a longer route to explore some other parts of Starmine. As he jog, the sudden appearance of a man surprised him and made him stop from his tracks.

"Thanks for stopping young man for I desperately need your help." The old man spoke in a low husky voice as he motion Kenjiro to follow him. Kenjiro, being softhearted at elderly people simply followed the man without any hesitation. As he stated on his words earlier anyway, the man desperately needs his help.

The man looked around before opening his door. Certain that no one else is around, he motioned Kenjiro to get inside first. Kenjiro did step inside the old man's house, with the old man following behind him. Kenjiro's eyes suddenly grew in amazement upon seeing a number of finely crafted swords hanging at one side of the wall. "Who made those amazing swords!" Kenjiro asked in amazement as he walk near the swords and observed them one by one.

"I did." The old man quickly responded then spoke of the reason he invited Kenjiro inside. He introduced himself as Mr. Kato and informed Kenjiro that he is a blacksmith reviving the bladed medieval weapons but with a rather advanced touch to in and using some rare stuff to make his works even better than the common ones.

The old man the started explaining about the mystery on how he forge his crafted weapons. He mentioned using some rare materials from mythical creatures that most people consider to be mere imaginary creations. He told Kenjiro that he once has an assistant to get the materials for him however, he let his assistant go on a vacation without him realizing that his materials are depleting. He got some orders but he needs someone to get the materials for him first before he can start forging. He then shared the details about the rare material and where it can be gathered from.

After listening to Mr. Kato's story, Kenjiro agreed to help the blacksmith on collecting the rare material. Having all the information he needs, Kenjiro left towards the forest near the city. He walked through the forest as directed by the old blacksmith, reaching the lake at mid afternoon. Since the mysterious beast who has the material he is looking for would appear by midnight, Kenjiro decided to climb a huge tree and slept under the comfort of one of its branches. He closed his eyes and started to slumber, saving his strength to face the creature which according to Mr. Kato, isn't that easy to deal with.

Kenjiro woke up with some noises that resemble the tapping sound of a horse's hoof. Peeping from up the tree, he saw a magnificent creature that exactly matches the old blacksmith's description. The creature roughly resembles a horse in it's body but strange enough, it is fully covered with scales. Aside from that, it has a shiny horn on it's head, the one that Kenjiro needs to take from it. He needs to kill this creature though if he wants to get the horn. Unsure of what to do, he simply waited for the creature to get near the tree. Lucky enough, the creature did walk under the tree giving Kenjiro the chance to attack it from above with his fiery fist. His fist seem to have hurt the creature a little, but not enough to take it down.

The creature kicked Kenjiro hardly that he went flying several meters through the trees. It's just a good thing that he was quick to activate the Will of the Phoenix or else, he would have instantly died of that attack. His back finally bumped at another huge tree, causing him some light bruises. It took him some time to recover his stance and fully stand up because of the pain at both his back and his chest where the creature's hooves hit him.

His problem hasn't ended yet for just a few seconds later, he can here the creature's rampaging feet dash towards him. It didn't take that long before he can see the creature charging towards him. He decided to stand in defense, waiting for the creature to come near. Timing his spell, he summoned a rounded flaming shield to block the charging attack of the creature with its horn. The shield was enough to protect him but not that strong enough to remain for it dissipated the moment it was hit by the creature's horn. It didn't startle him though but instead, he right palm is already facing the creature and the moment the shield disappeared, he shot the creature with a fiery attack in the form of a blazing eagle. It burned the creature enough to fry it dead making Kenjiro sigh in relief.

Certain that the creature was dead, Kenjiro cut the creature's horn with a skinning knife which the blacksmith lent at him and came back. He handed the rare horn at the blacksmith with him having some rewards in return.
